When firefighters arrived just minutes later they located a fire well-established in the attic space of the structure. Twenty-six firefighters from Cal Fire (San Bernardino and Riverside), Morongo Fire Department, and Riverside County Fire Department.

Integrity is unbelievably important when reporting. I believe in getting to the bottom of the story while being sensitive to the fact that the "story" affects real lives.I am committed to bringing important news, events, and other information to those in my community and beyond.
